Played Summit Course today. So killer! Jeff Smith posted the best score, a 55. I shot a 60. Dee, the course pro, played too. Can't remember what he shot. The Summit Course is similar to last years layout with a few minor changes. The gondola ride got us up there in 9.5 minutes. Took about 4 hours to play down. Get up there and play. Do it!

"Can't remember what he shot". Nice way of saying that my score was out of acceptable range.

I came back the second day and did a much better job of keeping it in the Fairway. +12 on the Summit Course is about as good as it gets for me. Hoping to break into single digits next run...

We are considering this tourney but could really use a little more info on the camping situation. I found the DG map and can see a parking lot but can't really tell where there's camping available. Is it a free for all? Are there actual spots? And the BIG question...are there restrooms and even possible showers?

Any additional info would be appreciated :-)

Camping is in the parking lots at Crystal Mountain Resort. There are plug in spots for RV's-$20/night.
Tent camping is pretty much free and is help yourself. There are no designated tent spots.
There are NO SHOWERS OR RESTROOMS in the camping area. Public Bathroom is open 24 hours in the main day lodge. 5-10 minute walk from the main camping area.

There are several USFS campgrounds in the area along Highway 410 with bathrooms. You will need to get there early on Friday to get a spot because they will most likely fill up on Saturday.

Played the course for my first time today.
I have to say, there are very few places in this country where you can experience disc golf like this.
I recorded 2300' feet of vertical lost from the first tee on the mountain course, to 18 basket down by the gondola.
I know a couple of the holes must be 1000' or more from tee to basket, even downhill, this is still a long way to throw.

Tourons from many nations did swarm around some of the baskets near the top, like the apes around the monolith, circling, grunting, tilting thier heads from side to side. It amazes me that after 30 years most people still dont have a clue what this sport is.

Bottom line, this course is EPIC !
If you have the chance to play, dont miss it. The flowers are out in full force right now and the course is snow free.

Just wanna say thanks Dee for putting this all together, I cant get back down for the tourney next week, but I did grab a tasty pearly CFR Vulcan from the bar to support the cause, and maybe next year I can make the time for this tourney.

ps* thanks for the left to right holes, Erick and I are both lefties, so we greatly appreciate the consideration

Played the Summit course on 8/20/2011. Simply amazing. Captain Jack is right, the wild flowers and green meadow plants are out in full force. There was no snow on the course. It is beautiful. Bring lots of water. A guy who joined up with us ran out of water mid-round. There is a mini mart next to the gondola uploading area to stock up on snacks and beverages. Oh, by-the-way, the insects were annoying in the shade, so I'm bringing bug repellent for the tourney.
